Reservation Road, as well. The Other Boleyn Girl, Charlie Wilson's War, and The Golden Age are all out.<BR/><BR/>It will be interesting.<BR/><BR/>I abandoned Fiction Department, I am attempting to make a parody site now. But I wish you well, sir.<BR/><BR/>I also do a little writing for TV now, so, maybe I am distracted?Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14970955191176348329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-41834152150487744482007-06-29T18:03:00.000-06:002007-06-29T18:03:00.000-06:00I've been away from reading for a while, and just ...I've been away from reading for a while, and just caught up---it was challenging. Like some of your readers, I prefer Robin Williams in his dramatic roles---he's just too over the top for me, even though he is brilliant---just watching him totally take over someone's talk show gives you an idea of his power. <BR/><BR/>As for your predictions, I've put them in my agenda to check out when the time comes, and now I'm going to have to watch them to make sure I have the right outraged reaction if they don't make it.Lornahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976144449873569523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-86233389643346252622007-06-29T13:19:00.000-06:002007-06-29T13:19:00.000-06:00If the films for Atonement, Kite Runner and Reserv...If the films for Atonement, Kite Runner and Reservation Road are as good as the books they're based on the will surely bring the Oscar home.

Did you see a trailer for it, or find out some other way?<BR/><BR/>I probably won't post my guesses for another couple months. But thanks for leading off here!Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16866532531312584126noreply@blogger.com
